6/18/14 - A Highland Township man is facing charges in US District Court and Oakland County Circuit Court stemming from accusations that he filmed himself having sexual relations with underage girls. 37-year-old Nino Tanzini is facing two counts of producing and possessing child pornography as well as one count of enticing a minor in US District Court. He is also facing three counts of 3rd degree criminal sexual conduct in Oakland County. Authorities say Tanzini had sexual relationships with two girls beginning when they were 14 and 16 years of age. In both cases, the girls said they started long-distance romantic relationships via email with young men, who then suggested they gain sexual experience by visiting Tanzini. The girls both say they had sexual relationships with Tanzini, who would take photos or videos of the acts. They eventually became aware that their online boyfriends were Tanzini himself, posing as younger men online. He was arrested late last month. Tanziniâs wife, who has since filed for a restraining order against him, turned the contents of his external hard drive over to police, who say they found explicit photographs and videos of both girls. Tanzini is scheduled for an arraignment in Oakland County Circuit Court on June 23rd. (TD)
